Cosmic Superheroes
According to keyboardist/vocalist
Paul Sanders (formerly of Saunter), "We've all been so excited
about this project because it seems to just keep getting more and
more ridiculously fun and experimental."
It’s just one
cosmic event after another, and even Raleigh’s INDYWEEK has taken
notice: “...fun loving Triangle quartet takes an eclectic journey
through atmospheres studded with psychedelic guitar workouts and
slightly funky, slightly folky alt-rock.”
Coincidence and
chance meetings have been a recurring theme for this band: In the
early weeks of 2016, the last remaining founding member Brandon Scott
McLean (formerly of Windsor Oaks Band, Cougar Magnum) decided to post
an ad on Craigslist to rejuvenate the bass department. Cosmically, a
locally renowned bass-extraordinaire Paul Benner (formerly of
Beggar's Caravan) answered the call. Even more Cosmic, it turned out
Brandon and Benner had known each other since 2009.
At one point some years ago, the band was forced to pound the pavement in search of a drummer. Serendipitously, local drumming sensation and longtime friend of the band reached out and solved that problem: "I heard you were looking for a drummer...maybe we could get together and jam sometime and see where it goes..." -Bongo John (formerly of Zegg, Triplicity, and current Professional Recording Engineer at his very own studio in Cary, NC). Bongo John has been the drummer for several years now. The line-up changed again in 2021 with our multi-talented bassist Beamon Joseph giving momentum for the band and powerful vocals. As of recently, Beamon has decided to function as part-time bassist / guitarist for the band and now the wonderfully talented Curt Turner is our current bassist.
In 2015, the album "Monday" was released.
Cosmic Superheroes released their 9 track album 'Big Star' released
in 2018. A self-titled album was released in 2020.
Currently, Cosmic Superheroes is releasing, under the production of
John Custer, their "Hell Yes Ma'am" Sessions 7 track
EP in 2022 (check website to pre-order)!
